... I had plans to visit him and he never let me know how bad his health really was. Our "friends" looted his apartment.

I was devastated and in the middle of my cancer journey and over 1,000 miles away. I was looking forward to seeing him later that month. I still have his Christmas gift. I felt like my mourning has been taken from me. That was Oct eight years ago.
